I don't want to use the Adsense Integration...but I like the location used for the first post. Is this an actual location provided in our templates or do we need to do this manually?

It uses the ad_showthread_firstpost_start template. This is a standard template in 3.8.0 even if you do not have Adsense integrated.Translations provided by Google.

Is it possible to post the HTML/CSS used to make the ad float: right? I tried placing an ad there before I posted the question and it didn't look anything like the Adsense Integration.No...No...Meester vBulletin, he no work right.Comment

There were a couple of tutorials and template mods floating around vb.org with this info at one point (I think 3.6 days, but its just a postbit edit).
Here is a mod that does something similar but again,you could probably edit your postbit template and use the html/css from it.

That template should be blank (unless you've already added any code there yourself). Put the following code in that template. The code in red makes the ad show only to guests; it can be omitted and the ad will be shown to everybody. It could also be replaced with a different conditional to show the ad to whatever user group(s) you want.
Code:[COLOR=Red]<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 1">[/COLOR] <div style="float:right; width:300px; height:250px; margin-left:10px"> [B]put your 300 x 250 ad code here[/B] </div> [COLOR=Red]</if>[/COLOR]
If the first post (the post in which the ad is shown) is very short, the person's signature (if they have one) and quote button will be immediately under the post, to the left of the ad (see attached screen shot). It will not be all the way at the bottom of the post box as it is when there is no ad. This is contrary to the screen shot shown in the vBulletin manual under Google Adsense Integration, which shows a short post with the sig and quote button at the bottom, below the ad. However, I have verified that even when one is using the built-in vBulletin Adsense Integration, very short posts have the sig and quote button to the left of the ad, not at the bottom under the ad.

Thank you for the suggestion! Although I have decided I do prefer having both the sig and quote button immediately beneath the post, I tried this to see how it would look. It doesn't work. Using a div clear causes the entire text of the post to be below the ad..:. Donna .:.Comment

This may be helpful to some... for those who are showing ads only to guests, vbulletin.org has info on how to remove the Quote button for guests only: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=172170..:. Donna .:.Comment

What about when you place large images. I assume the ad box will push whatever image below the level of the ad?Comment

Great advice, thank you! Though there's one trouble - if in the first post there is a quote, the background of the quote gets under the ad space. Is it possible to do something about this too?

You're welcome! On my site, if there is a quote, the quote gets bumped down below the ad. I have not found a solution for this. When I tested the built-in vBulletin adsense integration, it was the same way..:. Donna .:.Comment

On my forum it didn't bumped down automatically. Eventually I just shortened its length by myself.Boris Lifanovsky; administrator of the biggest Russian classical music forum
